Recipe: Grain-Free Banana Snack Bar (Paleo, GAPS, SCD)

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

When we went grain-free, I had to come up with some delicious snacks that my son would love. It was really important to me that he not feel deprived when seeing all the other kids eating snacks from cool packages. I started to make these banana pancakes for him which he ate with relish for years. After a while it became too labor intensive and I came up with this recipe that we use now and love!

It’s hard to compete with expert marketers when it comes to food targeted at kids. We know that the packaging and marketing is much more important to food industry producers than the actual safety and nutritional value of the food.

Clearly, all the cereals and snacks packages are aimed at getting children to ask for it. When you are cooking at home, it’s important to make the food taste good so your kids are happy with your packed food and snacks.

This savory/sweet snack bar fits the bill! It’s less time consuming than the pancakes but also, very good! Leave a comment and let me know how your kids love it!

It is sad that so many food manufacturers are more concerned about marketing and packaging when they target food to kids. It makes it very challenging to tempt kids with healthier options. Having said that your Grain Free Banana Snack Bars look very tempting indeed! Thank you for sharing them with the Hearth and Soul hop. I’ll be featuring your recipe in my H&S post this week

I have found it works great with only 1/2 cup of flour if you just let it rest awhile to soak up the liquids. My favorite way to eat it is toasted and then spread org. raw honey all over it. Yum! Perfect afternoon snack.

I just made my second batch and I used just butter to grease my pan and the bread came right out, no sticking whatsoever. I had very bad luck with the parchment paper and coconut oil. It suck very badly.

I’ve made these for my kids to bring for their morning snacks to school several times. BIG HIT! Especially for my 3rd grader. My younger one (1st grade) is asking for chocolate chips but I’m resisting the temptation so he can kick that sweet habit of his. I found stash in the freezer & grabbed one for myself today. Wow – how could I have not ever had these before!??! So good!! And, on a side note, this recipe is 21-Day Sugar Detox friendly if using green tipped bananas. SCORE!!
